Had a brain aneurysm clipped last month; i'm having trouble with my scar it aches and stays sore?

Give it a few months: Scars take 6-12 months to mature. The healing process involves inflammation and that irritates the skin but allows for healing. It is a balance to dont irritate the wound more that you have to. It may help to keep it covered from the sun if you can, use sunscreen and keep it moisturized. Good luck.
